Rule of Thumb - Batman07 - 02-17-2011 Hi everyone! Kindly share your rules of thumb here which are very useful in civil/structural engineering. The following rules of thumb are useful to me: 1) For every foot span of beam use 3/4 of an inch height for that beam. 2) Size column so that the column area is 0.12% of the area of floor supported. 3) For every story of the building, use 100 mm thickness of raft foundation. :clap::JC_cheers: RE: Rule of Thumb - lednar_ved - 02-17-2011 Graduate Design Manual (Rule of Thumb)
